Thanks for looking into this.

IANAL but I do not think it makes sense to have such a privacy policy at
this moment in time. I'd rather have a person with legal expertise look
at this situation and do the following:

1. Notice that we do need such a policy
2. Draft (or at least proof read) this policy.

The reason for this is two-fold: I think there are enough 'legal' texts
on the Internet of questionable enforcability/applicability, and doing
things this way creates a cargo-cult mentality.

Compare to the questionable habit of unconditionally adding the "The
content of this email is confidential ..."-esque spam outgoing email
(even if that mail is addressed to a public mailing list).

If others disagree in principle or in practice with me on this, that is
fine too of course :-)

- Jelle
